The Gluten Free Lifesaver Look What I Found; Delicious Gluten-Free Salty Liquorice!
Have you been looking for gluten-free liquorice by any chance?
I recently spent a few days in Oslo (Norway) where I hosted a workshop about blogging (so much fun!), and on the way home I found something delicious (and gluten-free of course) at the airport!
As a Scandinavian, I simply cannot live without salty liquorice. Did you know that most liquorice is made using wheat flour, by the way? Oh, how I miss my Allsorts..
Anyway, I was looking for super-salty adult liquorice to bring home with me (as it is almost impossible to find outside of Scandinavia), and I found a brand I have never seen before at Oslo airport Gardermoen. Namely this Dutch variety called “Van Slooten”. Super yummy, actually quite cheap, and with a big bold “gluten-free” label on the front!
-You wouldn’t believe it, but I had trawled through the whole ingredient list before I even noticed the massive gluten-free statement on the front ha. I guess I’m not used to things being so absolutely fantastic!
Highly recommended (I already finished one of those giant packs..), and also free from artificial ingredients.
i did not know licorice is made from wheat! I wonder if that brand is available here in Canada, would love to try it

You might find it online! Yes, a lot (though not all) liquorice is made using wheat flour. A tragedy for a liquorice lover like myself 🙂
